Put a couple million rubles in penalties in the game of England and Panama? What is the problem?

The French team did not exactly become the only winner of the World Cup in Russia: the success of "tricolor" brought joy not only to the inhabitants of this country, but also to many fans of rates. After the end of the mundialya, the journalists vied with the results and fix the main results of the tournament. It's time to check how successful the World Cup 2018 was for the players and bookmakers.

The most profitable and unprofitable matches of the 2018 World Cup

As expected, the World Cup in Russia has repeatedly exceeded the world championship of 2014 by the volume of rates. In many respects this happened due to changes in legislation. For example, an important role was played by amendments to the Law on Advertising, which came into force on 1 January last year.

Even more strongly influenced by the legalization of interactive rates. Until 2014, Internet bets were generally banned by Russian law, and there was no such thing as a "legal online bookmaker" in the country. Bookmakers with Russian licenses could only conduct ground operations without the right to receive online bets.

Every year the legal online sector is gaining momentum, the home world championship significantly accelerated an already obvious process. "For comparison, the final of France - Croatia doubled the final of the last Champions League" Real "-" Liverpool "in terms of the amount of bets. The final of the Champions League-2018 was the most unprofitable match in the history of the company, but according to this indicator the game France-Croatia set a new record, surpassing it 3.5 times, "noted the press service of BC" League of Stakes ".

The three most popular matches of the 2018 World Cup on television ratings included the meetings Russia - Croatia, Russia - Spain and France - Croatia. It is no wonder that they became the key ones for bookmakers.

So, matches with the participation of the Russian team caused the greatest interest among customers of bwin. The game Russia - Croatia and at all became a record for the volume of bets taken during the company's work in Russia (the site bwin.ru began accepting interactive bets in November 2017), and the final match mundialya - a record in terms of payments by the operator.

For BC "Olympus" the most unprofitable was the match between France and Croatia. Most of the clients of the company put on the victory of France, all sorts of totals and the fact that both will score. 72% of the rates fell on the "victoria" of France.

At the BC "Pari-match" the three most popular matches of the World Cup 2018 fully coincided with the TV ratings: Russia - Croatia, then Russia - Spain, and in third place - France - Croatia. Outside this triple managed to get out a few. There were only two exceptions, one on each side.

Germany's strong-willed victory over Sweden beat the final and became a record at the mundiale for BC Fonbet on the amount of payments. Despite this, it was on July 15 that the overall record was set for the number of paid wins to the operator's customers.

"This is due not only to the final match, but also to the calculation of long bets on the championship. In the finals, 80% of the clients were betting on the victory of France, there were many bets on the positions "both will score", total more than 2.5 and 3.5 and for minus points of France. Nevertheless, the results of live can not be called very lossy, we took roughly equal to win France and Croatia's victory in regular time, "- said the marketing director of BC" Fonbet "Alina Yakirevich.

"One of the best outcomes for a bookmaker is a draw. That's how Denmark and France played (0: 0), this meeting was the most profitable for us ", - added PR-manager of BC" Olympus "Christina Belousova.

The largest player in the tournament

The biggest player in the Olympus FC was 25.0. Lucky collected an express from five World Cup matches and won.

The client bwin won 72 thousand rudders in a bet-express with a coefficient of 126.0. The player chose a bet from the group of ready combo-expresses for the match Switzerland - Costa Rica: "Switzerland wins in the first half of the match, the game will score at least 4 goals, will be filed no less than 11 corners, the match will be an unrealized penalty." All these events took place, and the client won more than 72,000 rubles from a rate of 577 rubles.

Even more successful was the player BC "Fonbet". In the match Spain - Portugal, he played the bet "Cristiano Ronaldo will score the first goal and the score of the match 3: 3" with a coefficient of 600.0 - so out of 500 rubles turned out already 300 thousand.

An incredible coefficient of 1796.9 was collected by the client of the BC "Pari-match", which put only 250 rubles at once for 10 events. The lucky winner's win was almost 1.2 million rubles.

Well, unconditionally the best result was on June 19. The client of the BC "League of Stakes" put on an exact account in three matches: Russia - Egypt (3: 1), Poland - Senegal (1: 2) and Colombia - Japan (1: 2). Having issued a hat-trick, he turned 100 rubles into 531 988, because the total ratio was insane 5319.88.

The biggest loss at the 2018 World Cup

The biggest bet that did not play in the BC "Pari-match" was recorded in the meeting Denmark-France in the third round of the group stage. The client predicted that the total would be more than two balls and reinforced his confidence in the amount of 35 555 rubles, but the team under the whistle of the stands gave out the most boring match of the tournament and did not have goals.

The biggest loss in BC "Olympus" fell on the match Croatia - England and amounted to 2.13 million rubles.

A real gift for bookmakers was the game of Germany and South Korea. The Germans lost with a score of 0: 2 and failed to leave the group, and the client of FC Fonbet put on the victory of Germany 3 million rubles with a coefficient of 1.18 and remained with nothing.

However, this is not a record. Another hoped for the bundestim player underestimated the power of the curse of the current champions and laid out 4.3 million, losing the bet of the BC "League of Stakes".

The biggest single win at the 2018 World Cup

For maximum visibility, we did not take into account the express - only single bets. Practically all bookmakers have rigid slats of the maximum rates. To win from such operators, say, 7-8 million rubles is impossible even theoretically. The largest limit on the size of the bet among all Russian bookmakers offers BC "Fonbet".

The biggest win in the "single" bet in the BC "Pari-match" was recorded in the match Germany - Sweden. The fan received a payment of 630 thousand rubles. The biggest single win in the Olimp BK was at the finals: the client bet on the victory of France and won more than 5.4 million rubles.

Player BC "League of Stakes" did not regret the victory of France over Croatia in regular time 6 343 080 rubles - who played a coefficient of 1.95 converted them into 12.369 million, but even this amount was not enough to take the first place.

The biggest win at one bet in the BC "Fonbet" was 14 962 500 rubles. The amount of the bet was 2.85 million - the client made a bet with a coefficient of 5.25 for the fact that France will become the world champion. The bet was made in early July after the completion of the group stage. This win was the biggest among all Russian bookmakers during the World Cup 2018.

Strange rates and faith in the Russian national team

The client of BC Fonbet has placed 20 thousand rubles for the fact that in the match Russia - Spain will have an own goal. The ricochet of the ball from Sergey Ignashevich brought the player 130 thousand rubles.

And how about putting a couple million rubles on the fact that in the game of England and Panama will be a penalty? To another player of "Fonbet" this idea seemed wonderful. And he was not mistaken: the coefficient 2.50 turned 2 million into 5 million.

It is noteworthy that many Russians believed in the victory of their team. According to BC "Paris Match", 8.6% of the total number of predictions made for the championship of one of the teams, were taken to win the hosts of the tournament. For comparison, Brazil accounted for 3.9%, and for France (3.4%) with Belgium (2.8%) - even less.

"In general, we can only note the positive results of the 2018 World Cup for the bookmaker industry. Operators managed to attract and interest new players. The volume of rates compared to the average monthly volume increased more than twice, "- concluded the PR-manager of BC" Olympus "Christina Belousova.
